In the Chongzheng Hall, Dorgon, Duoduo, and Daishan began to discuss the candidates for Gushan Ezhen of the Mongolian Eight Banners, as well as the candidates for the banner masters of the Manchu Eight Banners, and the candidates of Gushan Ezhen for each banner of the Han army.
Dorgon said: "I think Babutai, the ninth son of Tiancong Khan, is loyal and has many military exploits, so he should be supported. What do you two think?"
Babutai is the ninth son of Wild Boar Pinurhaci, the ninth brother of Dorgon and Duduo. His mother is the concubine Jiamu Hujueluo.
In the tenth year of the destiny, Babutai led Abai and Tabai to attack the Hurha tribe on the North Road of Donghai, and achieved great success. In the eleventh year of Tianming, Nurhachi established sixteen ministers for the first time and ordered Babutai to manage the affairs of Zhenghuang Banner in Manzhou.
However, Babutai was greedy for money and was once punished by Nurhaci for this. Now he is only a third-class general serving the country, leading his troops to station in Jinzhou.
Although Daishan looked down on Babutai when he heard this, he also understood that among the clan, only Babutai and a few others were not Huang Taiji's confidants. Dorgon could only use such people to support the scene, so he There was no vocal objection.
Naturally, Duduo would not object, and Dorgon immediately said: "Then, let Babutai be crowned Prince Yi, the leader of the Manzhou Xianghong Banner, and order him to rebuild the Manchuria Xianghong Banner."
"嗻."
Then, Dorgon continued: "Change the two white flags of Manchuria into two yellow flags, and use the eldest son of General Tanggu, Nie Kesai, as the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner to solidify Ezhen, and the second son Murcha as the Manchurian Bordered Yellow Banner. Gushan Ezhen."
"With Prince Duduo of Yu as the owner of the Manchuria Two White Banners, we will rebuild the Manchuria Two White Banners as soon as possible."
With this move, Dorgon directly held the two white flags of Manchuria in his hands, as well as the thousands of white flag-encrusted cavalry in Duduo's hands. but
Dorgon ordered Duduo to rebuild the Two White Banners of Manchuria and appointed him as the master of the two banners, which was considered a kind of compensation.
Duduo's expression changed slightly, but he still saluted happily and accepted the order.
Then, Dorgon said: "I am determined to confer the title of Prince Jisu to the pre-commissioned minister Lai Mubu, as the owner of the Manchuria Zhenglan Banner, and order him to rebuild the Manchuria Zhenglan Banner."
Aixinjueluo Laimubu was the thirteenth son of the wild boar Pinurhaci, and he had no extraordinary talents.
Just when Huang Taiji led the overwhelming army to the south, Lai Mubu led his army with Azige as the vanguard and attacked Ningyuan City. However, he was defeated and was immediately dismissed from his post by Huang Taiji and dismissed from political affairs.
As a result, Lai Mubu had a very bad relationship with Huang Taiji, and he was the one person Dorgon could use with confidence.
"Fei Yangguo was ordered to succeed Prince Zheng as the leader of the Manchuria Xianglan Banner, and he was ordered to rebuild the Manchuria Xianglan Banner."
Feiyanguo is Nurhachi's youngest son. He is only in his twenties. He currently does not have any official position and is being held in prison.
Just before Huang Taiji led his army to the expedition, Fei Yangguo was imprisoned by the angry Huang Taiji because he took his slaves to kill people in the street, and the person he killed was Jia La Ezhen of Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria. Then stab him to death.
However, Huang Taiji never returned and ended up defeated and killed. However, Fei Yangguo saved his life and was not killed in Shengjing by Huang Taiji as in history.
But when Daishan saw that Dorgon had promoted Fei Yanguo, Lai Mubu, and Babutai to become princes, he felt very uncomfortable. The three of them were considered to have the least military exploits and the lowest abilities among their clan members, but
Now, because there is no one available, Dorgon has promoted him to the next step. It is really a trick of fate!
Duduo naturally agreed with Dorgon's proposal, and Daishan couldn't help but agree, so he couldn't help but agree.
Dorgon said with a smile: "Our Qing Dynasty, Manchuria and Mongolia are one. After the leaders of the eight Manchu banners are determined, the candidates for Gushan'e of each Mongolian banner must also be determined."
Duduo said: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict!"
Daishan also saluted and said, "Your Majesty, please give me the order."
Dorgon felt happy when he saw Daishan being so respectful. Now there are four flags in the hands of himself and Duoduo brothers. In addition, the flag owners with the red flag and the two blue flags are people he promoted. Daishan only has one red flag. It is destined to be unable to cause any trouble. From now on, the Eight Banners will be under its control!
So Dorgon said: "The Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen was appointed by Gabula, the son of Prince Yi Babutai and the third-class Fengguo general, and ordered him to rebuild the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner."
"The Mongolian Xianghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen was appointed by Ajibai, the deputy commander of the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner who stayed in Shengjing, and ordered him to rebuild the Mongolian Xianghuang Banner."
Needless to say, Gabra was Babutai's son and was naturally loyal to Dorgon.
Although Ajibai was the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner of Mongolia and a slave of Haug, he was suppressed by Hauge. Even when he went on an expedition, he was left behind and had nowhere to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, Dorgon sent Ajibai to the army. After picking him up and promoting him, he naturally gained his loyalty.
"Omotuk was appointed as Gushan'erzhen of Mongolia's Zhenglan Banner, and Ayushi was appointed as Gushan'erzhen of Mongolia's Xianglan Banner. They were ordered to rebuild the Two Blue Banners of Mongolia."
Daishan was slightly startled, why didn't these two people listen?
Having said that, he looked at Dodo in confusion.
Duduo explained: "These two are my servants with a white flag. They were originally Jia La Ezhen with a white flag. They were promoted by His Majesty because of their outstanding military exploits."
Daishan was a little angry in his heart. Dorgon's behavior was too ugly, but on the surface Daishan did not dare to say anything. He could only say with a smile: "Your Majesty has a keen eye for people, and the day of the revival of the Qing Dynasty is right in front of me!"
Dorgon looked at Daishan's performance and was very satisfied. He praised him and continued: "Every banner of the Han army, I am determined to promote Jin Li, the first-class general of the Han army with red flags who stayed in Shengjing. He promoted the third-class Angbang Zhangjing Tong Tulai to the Han army to set up the yellow flag and solidify the mountain Ezhen. He promoted the first-class Bo Bayan to the Han army to raise the red flag and solidify the mountain Ezhen. He ordered the two men to rebuild the Han army. Two yellow flags.”
Needless to say, Jin Li was an unpopular person in the Han army with red flags, and Tong Tulai was Tulai, and he was also a figure like Jin Li. When Huang Taiji was in power, almost every time the army went out to fight, Both of them were left-behind sinecures, and they had accumulated resentment in their hearts for a long time, and now they finally got over it.
But Bayan was promoted by Dorgon, which was somewhat beyond Daishan's expectation. Although Bayan's name sounds like a Mongolian, Bayan is actually a Han Chinese. Bayan's father was the number one emperor in the late Ming Dynasty. The traitor Li Yongfang is Li Yongfang's fifth son.
"It seems that His Majesty is using Bayan to balance people's hearts."
Then, Dorgon continued: "Promote Li Guohan, the Jia La Ezhen of the Han Army's Xianglan Banner, to the Gushan Ezhen of the Banner, and order him to rebuild the Han Army's Xianglan Banner."
"Promote Ye Keshu, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of War, to serve as the Han Army's Zhengbai Banner and Gushan
Ezhen ordered him to rebuild the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. "
"Promote Zu Kefa to set up a red flag for the Han army to solidify Mount Ezhen, and order him to rebuild the red flag for the Han army."
"Promoted Zu Dashou to Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, and ordered him to rebuild the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army."
"Promoted Zu Dalue to serve as the Han Army's Xiangbai Banner, Gushan Ezhen, and ordered him to rebuild the Han Army's Xiangbai Banner."
Hearing this, Daishan could no longer sit still. He promoted Ye Keshu, Li Guohan and others, but Daishan could ignore them because they were people who stayed behind under various banners and did not have deep-rooted backgrounds. They were promoted and used as tools. good.
But who is Zu Dashou? That was a fierce general who had been trapped in an isolated city and fought against the Qing army for many years. It's okay to use such a person alone, but Dorgon promoted Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Dale and his adopted son Zu Kefa. The family members of the ancestors of the Eight Banners of the Han Army occupied three banners. Is this really appropriate? ?
Daishan immediately expressed his worries tactfully, and Duduo frowned slightly, obviously also having such worries.
Dorgon sighed and said: "I also understand the hidden dangers, but it is really difficult to find such generals in the country now, and I have no one to use. For the time being, let Zu Dashou, Zu Dalue, and Zu Kefa take the lead. Let’s see the effects.”
At this point, Dorgon, Duduo, and Daishan have all determined the candidates for the Manchu Eight Banners, as well as the Gushan'e Zhenren for the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners.
Dai Shan took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, when the banners are rebuilt, can the pensions for the Yanqing Prefecture War be also distributed, so that the bannermen can feel your Majesty's favor?"
Dorgon smiled and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago. At this time, the Minister of Political Affairs Ying'erdai will be in charge.
I will inform him today. "
"嗻."
But then the three of them encountered a problem.
Nowadays, whether it is the Manchus or the Mongols, the bannermen of each banner have suffered heavy losses. According to common sense, it is very unrealistic to rebuild the banners that were annihilated by Liu Yan in a short period of time.
Because there is no one!
At this time, both Duduo and Daishan were at a loss. After discussing for a while, they both believed that they could only allocate the population from the existing banners to rebuild each banner.
However, as a result, the strength of the various banners of the Qing army will be greatly reduced, and the Qing Dynasty will no longer be able to organize an army of more than 100,000 people for at least the next twenty years. Of course, this does not include the strength of the banners of the Han army.
However, with the talents of Dorgon, Duoduo, and Daishan, they did not dare to expand the banners of the Han army when the strength of the Manchu and Mongolian banners was low. Whether it was Dorgon at this time or Huang Taiji, who often emphasized the Manchu-Han family, they were extremely wary of the Han people, and even believed that the Han people were the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty!
The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally Dorgon slammed the table and said: "Now there is only one way to go: to rebuild the banners in Manchuria and capture wild Jurchens from all over Liaodong to supplement them."
The so-called wild Jurchens are actually the Oroqen and other ethnic minorities in the Northeast in later generations. During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, these ethnic minorities were regarded as a good source of troops by the Manchu rulers because of their strong folk customs. They went south to attack the Ming Dynasty, even during the Qianlong period of later generations. In many wars, wild Jurchens, commonly known as armored men, were used as the main force in the battle.
This also led to the sharp decline in the population of Oroqen and other ethnic minorities during the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, and they were even exterminated due to war attrition.
Tribes abound.
In later generations, in the early days of the founding of New China, the population of Oroqen in the northeast was only a mere 2,000, and it was on the verge of genocide. In a subsequent census in 1982, the population of Oroqen was only more than 8,000. This shows the tyranny of the Manchu rulers. It was not only the Han people who suffered the anti-human cruelty of the Manchu clique, but other fraternal ethnic groups also suffered greatly!
Back to the main story, regarding Dorgon's proposal, both Daishan and Duoduo knew what it meant. They didn't know how many tribes of wild women were about to disappear, but they did not object and began to carefully discuss the matter. The real story of catching a wild girl.
After dealing with the problem of insufficient population for the reconstruction of Manchuria banners, Duduo asked: "Your Majesty, where can we find the Dingkou of the Eight Mongolian Banners?"
In this regard, Dorgon also had a countermeasure, saying: "Now that the vitality of the Mongolian tribes in the outer vassal has been seriously damaged, I see no need to maintain it anymore. I order the Eight Mongolian Banners to carve up the Mongolian tribes in the outer vassal from now on, giving priority to rebuilding each banner. , the specific partition strategy is the responsibility of Prince Li."
Dai Shan complained in his heart that this was a hard job, and the spoils would most likely be "unevenly distributed." No matter how he upheld justice, he would not be in good shape inside and out.
But Daishan didn't dare to refuse, so he could only accept the order bravely.
As for the reconstruction of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, it will be much easier to handle. There is not much else in Liaodong, except that there are many Han people in various places. Gushan'e Zhen of each banner of the Han Army is ordered to recruit more young men, and then carry the flag for them. From Han people to As a bannerman, this is a great gift, so I don't have to worry about having no one.
"Haha, rebuilding the Eight Banners is just the first step in my revival of the Qing Dynasty, dear Yu
Your Majesty, Prince Li, I have big plans to take next. I hope you two will advance and retreat together with me! "
"This slave accepts the order!"
When Daishan and Duoduo left the Chongzheng Hall, they exchanged a few words and then left.
Dai Shan was still a little worried in his heart: "The reconstruction of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia is not easy. Can the reconstruction of the Eight Banners of the Han Army go smoothly? Raising the flag? I'm afraid it's not that easy either!"
